I went out and did the Sheffield Great Urban Fell Race last night. It's part of a winter night time running series that's organised up here.
With a free route around designated checkpoints, this race comes in at around 15k with 450m of climbing and about 15% off road. I was fairly pleased to knock 14 minutes off last year's time and get round in 1h34m but slightly annoyed I hadn't gotten inside an hour and a half. However, the fastest runner managed to get round in 1h06m. The mind boggles at that really. I'm struggling to work out where I'm going to find another 15 minutes to challenge for the top of the V40 table but 28 minutes? WTF?
Ah well, next month's race is 7.3k of spiral hill reps so I guess that's my training plan sorted out for the next three weeks.
